No one knows why a windmill was built in Lowfield Heath, but historical documents prove that the windmill has stood in the village since at least 1762. In 1835, the mill was damaged in a storm, but it continued to work by wind power until 1880 when it switched to portable steam engine power.

By 1957, the mill was left to rot with the roof missing in many places. In 1964, its fortunes turned as restorative work was carried out on the windmill and a Trust formed to continue its protection. The Mill was moved and rebuilt in 1984 due to Gatwick Airport expansion plans and was re-opened by Princess Alexandra in 1990.

You can visit the mill and learn more about its history of survival. Ring Peter James on 01403 272664 to arrange a visit. You can find more information, here: lowfieldheathwindmill.co.uk

Nowadays, only a few of them are still in operation in their original function, but are often merely technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind as driving energy and, for example, grain was ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil was pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind a whole series of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed from it.
